While the World Cup might be nearing its end, the Bellingham-Haaland bromance is just hitting its stride. England’s Jude Bellingham and Norway’s Erling Haaland are no strangers — they first bonded as teammates at Borussia Dortmund, where their chemistry was undeniable both on and off the pitch. So it was no surprise that fans were glued to their screens for the England vs. Norway quarter-final, eager to watch the former teammates go head-to-head for a spot in the semi-finals.
England may have emerged victorious, but nobody cared about the scoreline after watching Bellingham and Haaland’s post-match embrace. What followed was a flood of “cleated rivalry” edits (IYKYK) that had social media in a chokehold.
Here’s a walk down memory lane of their best bromance moments.
